$2,500,000.00 for a three-year agreement term for the purchase and installation of four vertical turbine pumps. The funds were appropriated to the
Water and Sewer Outlay project (City Project No. P00087) to be transferred to the Water Fiscal Year (FY) 24 Non -Fleet Equipment project (City
Project No. 105699). On February 25, 2025, M&C 25-0151 approved a contract with Winston Electric, Inc. dba ACME Electric and Electric Motor
Shop of Wake Forest dba Electric Motor Shop for the purchase of switchgears related to starting the vertical turbine pumps in an amount up to
$725,633.00 with a three-year agreement term. The funds were appropriated to the Water & Sewer Outlay project (City Project No. P00087) to be
transferred to the Water FY25 Non -Fleet Equipment project (City Project No. 105626). The same day, M&C 25-0144 approved funding to
purchase ball valves for flow control of the vertical turbine pumps in the amount of $934,633.00. These funds were also appropriated to the Water &
Sewer Outlay project (City Project No. P00087) to be transferred to the Water FY25 Non -Fleet Equipment project (City Project No. 105626). The

and Rolling Hills Water Treatment Plants necessary to startup the recently purchased high service pumps and motors. On January 27, 2026, M&C

Department will utilize this contract for the work needed to install the electrical equipment.
It is the practice of the Water Department to appropriate its Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) program throughout the Fiscal Year, instead of within
the annual budget ordinance, as projects commence, additional funding needs are identified, and to comply with bond covenants.
Funding is budgeted in the Transfer to Water/Sewer account of the Water and Sewer operating budget for the purpose of funding the Water FY25
Non -Fleet Equipment project (City Project No. 105626).
